Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs on Trial for Alleged Sex Trafficking Ring
New York, USA: Music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs faced stark allegations as his federal sex trafficking and racketeering trial opened in Manhattan. Prosecutors argue he led a “predatory celebrity sex ring,” abusing young women under promises of fame and financial support. Multiple accusers testified to being coerced and confined, painting a picture of power imbalances within the hip-hop scene. Diddy maintains all relationships were consensual, and his defense insists prosecutors are exaggerating for publicity. Outside the courthouse, #MeToo activists highlight the potential watershed effect for the music industry, long rumored to shield influential figures from sexual misconduct claims.
